several thousand dollars. To

ASVAB-
Students interested in the military are encouraged to take the Armed Forces
Vocational Aptitude Test. This
test is mandatory for those planning on service in the military and is highly
recommended for those who would like feedback on civilian career fields for
which they might have an aptitude. Military recruiters are available to provide
further assistance and information during school visits.

ACT (College Entrance Test) –All
students in Wisconsin will take the ACT.
It is necessary for entrance into a four-year college but has also
become part of the Wisconsin state-wide assessment system. It will be offered here on February 27,
2018 with a makeup testing date of March 20. If you wish to take the test early or retake
the test to improve your scores, there are options in the spring and fall to do
so. Re-takes will not be paid for by the
district. If you wish to register for
additional test dates, go to the ACT website:
